The Reborn Duke of Ming Dynasty

"Let's not talk about that." Zhu Xuanqi shook his head.I don't plan to mention my family's affairs again.those things.He was very troubled himself.Although it's nothing to mention it to an outsider like Zhang Fan.And it can relieve his boredom.But even so.But he knew it was useless to do so.It's time to worry.Still have to keep worrying. "Speaking of it, they are going to run back because of the current situation. I don't know what Master Zhang has planned."

"My lord asked me what my plans are. What plans can I have. Now the war is on the verge of breaking out. That being the case, I can only stay here. I can't leave until everything is settled." Zhang Fan momentarily I couldn't figure out why Zhu Xuanqi asked him this question.So that's all he can say.

"Master Zhang is really different. I also know the reason why the first emperor, and even the empress dowager and the emperor will look at Mr. Zhang differently." Zhu Xuanqi said suddenly. "If someone else took the seat of Mr. Zhang. If this happened, I'm afraid I would have avoided it long ago. In addition, there is no order from the court now. If I think about it, no one will say anything even if I leave first.

"After all, there is Liu Xian sitting here now. There is also the news provided by Mr. Zhang earlier. It is not difficult to resist those rebels. Even now, the war has not yet started. But this king can guarantee. As long as With Liu Xian here, the mere 3 to [-] people would definitely not be able to set foot in Sichuan.

"But even so. It's very dangerous here now. It's much more dangerous than before. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have gone to a safe place to stay. Wait until it becomes safe here before coming back. Or. Simply It's fine to go directly to the capital. But Mr. Zhang didn't do that. Instead, he stayed.

"Speaking of which, this king has also heard something about Mr. Zhang. I heard that in the past, the late emperor once appointed Mr. Zhang as the imperial envoy. He went to Jiangnan to investigate the tax case. How is the case. Speaking of which, this king doesn't care. Besides. Yes. With Mr. Zhang's ability, no matter what, it must be easy to catch.

"But at that time, I just heard that a large number of Japanese pirates invaded. They even broke through several cities. Even the huge Suzhou Mansion could not avoid the fall. However, Mr. Zhang was in Yangzhou Mansion. He was calm and calm. He even personally commanded the defenders. The enemy. This courage. To be honest, if I hadn’t heard it with my own ears, I would also know that this kind of thing can’t be faked. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t believe it.

"If it were someone like Liu Xian, I truly believe that he would do such a thing. It's not that Liu Xian is obsessed with war. He can't do without war. It's that he fought all his life. Even Encountering such a thing, I don’t think there is anything to be afraid of. Just stand upright.

"But Mr. Zhang is different. After all, Mr. Zhang is a civil servant. He is another talented person from the Ming Dynasty. After becoming an official, he originally had a great future. Even if he is not appreciated by the previous emperor, he will definitely achieve extraordinary things in the future. A man of the highest rank and subject must not be far away. From this point of view, Mr. Zhang should not be a person who likes to fight. Even if Mr. Zhang joined Jinyiwei for some reason, but what Jinyiwei does is different from fighting up.

"But Mr. Zhang. Not only did he survive that fatal situation, but he also withstood the siege of the Japanese pirates. I have been hearing that General Qi led an army from afar to come to help. From this point of view, it is impossible. My king I misread it. Is it possible? Although Mr. Zhang is a scholar, but in his bones, he is hopeful that he will not succeed in the battlefield."

"Hehe. Although what the lord said is correct, but it sounds to me. These things the lord said are really too polite." Zhang Fan smiled.Said. "Weichen is definitely not as good as the prince said. The incident in Yangzhou. Speaking of it. Although Weichen stayed to resist the attack of Japanese pirates, it was not what I thought. After all, Weichen's family is in Yangzhou No matter what else, you have to protect your family well.

"Furthermore, there is one thing that the prince may not know. Now I have told the prince. I hope that the prince will not reveal it to the outside world. At that time. Those who followed the minister. It is not just those people. Although the minister is an imperial envoy. From Among the people from Beijing to Yangzhou, Weichen is the biggest. But it is not the case. At that time, there was another person beside Weichen. Although he does not ask about anything on weekdays, but his status is higher than Weichen too much."

"Oh." I heard Zhang Fan say this.Zhu Xuanqi also became interested. "I don't know if it's convenient for Mr. Zhang to talk about it. What is the identity of that person?"

"It's okay to talk about it now." Regarding this matter.Zhang Fan still finds it a little funny when he thinks about it now. "Although the court didn't tell the outside world. But this matter is already known to everyone in the court. That person was the prince at that time. Now the emperor is here."

Zhang Fan's words.Zhu Xuanqi felt a little surprised.But also a little funny.after all.Now that Zhang Fan said so.Even if you don't know the cause and effect of that incident.Zhu Xuanqi could also guess that Zhu Yijun would be by Zhang Fan's side at that time.It must have not passed through Zhu Zaihou.Or the consent of the ministers in the court.Otherwise.The prince went to Jiangnan.This kind of thing will definitely be announced.

And if you look at it this way.This little emperor, whom Zhu Xuanqi had never met, really made him feel a little different.

"I see." Zhu Xuanqi said with a smile. "Speaking of which, it turns out that I don't understand that Mr. Zhang is so favored. The late emperor favored you. Maybe it was just because you had just entered the court at that time. There was a conflict with Xu Jie. The late emperor only needs to treat you a little Grace. You will be grateful to Dade. You served the first emperor. Now that the new emperor is on the throne, you are still so important. It turns out that it is because you and the current emperor have gotten along well since then."

"What the lord said is true." Zhang Fan did not deny his words. "Perhaps this can only be said to be the luck of the humble minister. It's because I had a good relationship with the Holy One before he ascended the throne."

Although what Zhang Fan said was very relaxed.But Zhu Xuanqi didn't think so.not to mention.What he said just now.In fact, it is not yet complete.He means.The reason why Zhu Zaihou reused Zhang Fan in the first place.It's just because most of the forces in the DPRK have already taken shape.Even if he is the emperor, he can't get involved.That being the case.Then it's better to cultivate another force by yourself.able to influence government.At the same time, it can also be used by the emperor.

all in all.In other words, Zhu Zaihou was just using Zhang Fan.

But actually.Even Zhu Xuanqi knew that this was definitely not the case.It seemed that Zhu Zaihou really liked Zhang Fan.

Why do you say that.Because Zhu Zaihou actually asked Zhang Fan to follow his appointed heir Zhu Yijun.Get in touch at that time.And it also created such a relationship of trust between the two of them that is both a teacher and a friend.Obviously, this has already gone beyond the relationship between use and being used.It was clear that Long Qing was not only interested in Zhang Fan's talent.It is even more important to train him to be Zhu Yijun's capable minister.

If so.Zhu Xuanqi's views on Zhang Fan also changed somewhat.Originally in Zhu Xuanqi's opinion.Zhang Fan is one.talented.But there are also lucky people.Speaking of this kind of person.Although very rare.But it is not uncommon.Look at Chaozhong.Those who can stand on the main hall that goes to the morning court every day.Which one is talentless.Which one is not lucky.

It can be seen from this.Such people.It is quite a lot.As for Zhang Fan's opinion.Zhu Xuanqi just felt it.Zhang Fan is just one of them.Although this kind of person is a bit difficult to deal with.But he has seen a lot.I didn't care much about it.

But now.Through these few words of Zhang Fan.But Zhu Xuanqi saw something else.It seems that Zhang Fan is not just the one he thought at first.talented.And whoever has luck.He really won the emperor's trust.Whether it is Zhu Zaihou of the previous generation.It is still Zhu Yijun of this generation.And it looks.Because of Zhu Zaihou's deliberate actions.Zhu Yijun's opinion on Zhang Fan.It's not just a simple matter of trust.

If so.Zhu Xuanqi suddenly felt.It seems that I have done something wrong.Although it will be in a while.He couldn't figure out what he did wrong.But in Zhu Xuanqi's heart.Always feel that there is something wrong.

"My lord. My lord. What's wrong with you." Seeing Zhu Xuanqi remain silent for so long.Just keep your head down there.I don't know what to think.Zhang Fan couldn't help asking.

"Hmm. Oh. It's nothing. I just thought of something." Zhu Yijun came back to his senses.Just found an excuse and prevaricated. "It turns out that there is such a thing here. It's really the first time this king has heard of it. But, even so, this king still can't figure it out. Even at that time, His Royal Highness was by Mr. Zhang's side. This Mr. Zhang What the hell does it matter if you have to stay and risk your life?"

"Hehe. It's really hard to talk about it." Zhang Fan suddenly showed an embarrassed smile.Said. "Weichen has never told anyone about it. But now that the prince has asked, I have nothing to hide.

"Actually. The reason why I stayed at that time was not because His Highness the Crown Prince was by my side. Please think about it, my lord. His Highness the Crown Prince trusted me very much at that time. I just left the danger behind. Let other people lose their lives. Even what the minister said is reasonable. But I am afraid that in the eyes of His Royal Highness, the timid and fearful appearance of the minister cannot be changed.

"And since it is His Royal Highness, then he will be the emperor in the future after all. Make a good appearance for the future Holy Majesty. It can be regarded as my selfishness."
